Description
Baughton Court is a house dating from the 15th to 17th century, constructed with a timber frame and painted brick. It has an L-shaped plan with extensions and stands two storeys tall with attics, topped with plain tile roofs. The south range features an east end wall with an outside stack, while the west end cross-wing has two side wall stacks—one with a massive stone base and three star-shaped brick stacks, and the other a large, single square shaft. The building has gable ends to the east and to the south and north ends of the cross-wing, with exposed timbers visible.
The main range is close-studded and includes a dormer gable, one window, and a six-panel door. The south gable end of the cross-wing has a two-window range with one attic window above, featuring modern casements. The north end of the cross-wing shows evidence of 17th-century square framing, indicating a later extension, and has a blocked two-light first-floor window. There is a small single-storey addition to the west of the main range, which is timber-framed with a west gable and a small south gable, containing one window range.
Inside, the ground floor on the east side has chamfered beams, and the first-floor room above features chamfered beams as well, with a small moulded plaster ornament on the ceiling, including flower vases in the corners and a winged cherub head in the centre. The cross-wing has chamfered and stopped beams, along with a supposed priest's hole on the first floor's west side. A painted date of 1520 appears in the south gable of the cross-wing, though it was recorded as 1540 in 1913 and 1632 in 1898.
